A Year of the Horse (Uma) figurine for the year 2026 (Year 8 of Reiwa). Made by Hiroshi Murata. The horse (uma) has been closely connected to people's lives since ancient times, used in agriculture, transportation, and warfare. The image of a horse carrying a person symbolizes "a bountiful harvest" and "good health," and it is also said to represent "a year in which everything goes smoothly." In particular, white horses have been regarded as sacred animals that ward off evil spirits and bring about a bountiful harvest and happiness. This figurine was created by Hiroshi Murata, a Nitten (Japan Fine Arts Exhibition) craft artist, with the wish for good fortune and prosperity. We hope you will display this auspicious figurine at the beginning of Reiwa Year 8 and cherish it as you spend the year with a fresh spirit. ● Dimensions ・Body: Width 35 x Depth 8.5 x Height 27 (cm) ● Material: Copper ※ The above dimensions are representative values and may vary slightly. ※ The color may differ slightly from the photo.
